I realized that it’s been nearly a year since I posted a track from one of my favorite bands, The Legendary Jim Ruiz Group. I flew out to Minneapolis to see him play a little over a year ago now and at the show he debuted a bunch of new songs which he said would be out hopefully by the end of 2007. We’re now officially in the later half of 2008 and still no new record, but I’m keeping my fingers crossed. This song was recorded a few years ago on 770 Radio K, the University of Minnesota’s AM station. It’s a Monochrome Set track that was one of my favorite covers I’ve ever heard Jim play.
